dlr Community and Cultural Development Department Tel: 01 205 4893 Email: community@dlrcoco.ie Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, through its various departments and services, plays a major role in the development of the county. The Council, however, recognises that it is not sufficient simply to provide the basic physical infrastructure such as housing, roads and parks for communities. We also support communities as they grow and develop. The aim of the Department is to help people to help themselves. Among the many services offered by the Council to achieve this are:- Community Grants Scheme, Community Employment Scheme, Special Projects, Estate Management and Community Development. Age-Friendly Programme and Social Inclusion Unit, Healthy Ireland, Comhairle na nÓg and much more A comprehensive support and advisory service is provided to voluntary community based organisations throughout the County Council’s administrative area. This service is assisted by a team of field staff who work closely with the various community groups in the area and constantly monitor and attempt to meet the needs expressed by those groups.
